Gsdc

Gsdc is based out in Vill Dubhar, which is near the post office in Bharsar. We are in the Ballia district of Uttar Pradesh. It is a rural setting, and things move at a different pace here than they do in the cities. Our setup is simple. We don't have a lot of modern office furniture or fancy computers. It’s mostly about being on the ground in the village. We work with what we have and focus on the tasks at hand. The roads can be rough, especially during the monsoon when everything turns to mud. We spend a lot of our time talking to the local people and managing whatever project is currently running. Ballia is a place where everyone knows everyone, so your reputation is just based on if you do what you said you would. We keep our records in a small room and most of the business is done face-to-face. There’s no big sign or polished reception area. You just walk in and find someone to talk to. We deal with the heat and the power cuts like everyone else in the district. It’s just daily life for us at Gsdc. We aren't trying to change the world; we just want to get our work done in Vill Dubhar and keep things going for another year. It gets very quiet at night.
